Cops Have Killed Every 8 Hours in 2015, Sending At Least Three People to Early Graves Per Day
Posted by Zenphamy 10 years, 2 months ago to Government
So it looks like America's police force is starting out for a real bang-up year;
"As of February 15, only a month and a half into 2015, there has been at least 136 individuals killed by police in the United States since the first of the year.
The frighteningly high number averages out to three killed per day, or someone killed every eight hours. While there is no government-run database, Killed By Police has taken it upon themselves to keep track, and are doing a fantastic job thus far."
And;
Unofficially, it seems that American police kill more than all of the first world nations’ police departments combined!
That’s not the only mind-blowing perspective either. So far this year all cop killers have been other cops. This year the police seem to be far more likely to die as a result of police brutality than at the hand of a violent suspect."

Also, it wouldn't hurt to have fewer laws but rigidly enforced and to have a population armed and willing to fight crime (in terms of protecting lives from violent criminals) themselves without relying only on police.
The figures in the article are staggering. The countries mentioned have not adopted libertarian ideas like I suggested, yet they manage to kill many fewer suspects.
